Tiki Bar

I have been talking about the Tiki bar for some time now, and other than a few poorly lit pictures from silly hat night, I haven't captured the place on film. Well, I'm here to remedy that. As Big Orange is determined to build one of his own, I thought that this might be of some use to him, as well as a suggestion to Bubs who seems to be fishing for ideas for his sprawling ramshackle compound. Here goes: This is the Tiki clock. The hour hand is broken and always reads somewhere in the neighborhood of six o'clock. The place is surrounded by flowers and this is a fountain that Frank and I made. It looks great when it is running. This is the best little beach in north-east Ohio. The blue wavy chairs add a suggestion of water. This is another fountain at the edge of the deck. Why the duck has a bottle of Canadian Windsor on his bill is anyones guess. This is the side facing my house. Note the windchime that looks like nesting coconuts. That is what we like to call our hurricane warning. It is so heavy that it would take gale force winds to make it ring. More pics to follow.

Gentlemen, I would love to tell you that this was in my backyard, but no, the Tiki bar is next door at Franks house. Every Weds. night is Tiki night and all of the neighbors get together at Franks and we have a drinks, and food (Frank is an awesome cook) and catch up. I helped Frank build it, so I also have my own permanent seat that is always reserved for me. If any of you guys find yourselves in NE Ohio, stop on by, Flannery ani will put you up and I'll take you to tiki night, my treat.

Words To Toast By

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

---Henry David Thoureau

He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden or silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths, Of night and light and half-light,I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams. W.B. Yeats
